The essence of "big data" is the rise of Internet IQ

Author: Liu &http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/37954.html ">nbsp; The new concept of the Internet is always emerging, web2.0, cloud computing, things networking, intelligent earth, 3D printing, this year, "Big Data" ("large") began to rise. One of the first institutions to come up with the "Big Data" era is McKinsey, a world-renowned consulting firm. In its research report, McKinsey notes that data has penetrated into every industry and business functional area, becoming an important production factor, and that the use of massive amounts of data will herald a new wave of productivity growth and a wave of consumer surpluses.

What does big data mean for the Internet, look at an Internet virtual brain map drawn from the Internet Evolution book. As you can see, big data is exactly the same as the "information or data Ocean" in the diagram,
If the concept of IoT corresponds to the Internet's virtual brain's sensory and motor nervous system, cloud computing corresponds to the Internet's virtual brain's central nervous systems, then large data and large processing is corresponding to the Internet virtual brain Intelligence development and IQ promotion.


IQ (FDI Quotient) is a series of standard tests to measure the level of intellectual development in a person's age. It is the ability of people to understand objective things and use knowledge to solve practical problems. Intelligence includes many aspects, such as observation, memory, imagination, analysis and judgment ability, thinking ability, strain ability and so on.
With the increase of Internet data, the ability of large data processing, the ability of observation, memory, imagination, analysis and judgment, thinking ability and adaptability of internet virtual brain will be improved with the efforts of data scientists.
An interesting topic for future scientists is "how to test the IQ of the internet virtual brain"



Appendix: Introduction to the book "Internet Evolution"
"Internet Evolution" published by Tsinghua University Press in September 2012, the main content is the use of brain science to predict the future trend of the Internet, while the Internet will become the key to solve the brain mystery. This book summarizes the 9 laws of Internet evolution. Explain how the Internet evolved from a fragmented, imperfect network into a highly similar tissue structure to the human brain.
